Below, describe the present invention in detail with reference to accompanying drawing.In addition, the present invention is not used to implement the qualification of optimal way of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiment).In addition, the inscape in the following embodiment comprises the key element that those skilled in the art can expect, identical in fact key element, the key element of so-called equivalency range.For example, in following embodiment, to being illustrated, but also can be used in by the motor vehicle driven by mixed power of combustion engine and motor driven, by the electronlmobil of the motor driven by electric rotation etc. by the ICE-powered vehicle.
Fig. 1 illustrates the block diagram that has according to the brief configuration of an embodiment of the vehicle of the vehicle-state decision maker of present embodiment.Vehicle 10 shown in Figure 1 has: wheel 11FR, 11FL, 11RR, 11RL; Driving engine 12; Change-speed box 14; Transmission shaft 16; Viscous coupling 18; Gear-shift lever 20; Propulsive effort distributes control setup 22; And vehicle-state decision maker 24.In addition, vehicle 10 also has acceleration pedal, brake pedal etc. as various inscapes that vehicle had except that each above-mentioned inscape.
Wheel 11FR, 11FL, 11RR, 11RL are configured in four bights of vehicle 10 respectively, the trailing wheel that the front-wheel that wheel 11FR, 11FL are vehicle 10 when working direction is travelled, wheel 11RR, 11RL are vehicle 10 when working direction is travelled.In addition, in the present embodiment, wheel 11FL, 11FL are deflection angle direction of passage dish operation etc. and the wheel flutter that changes, and wheel 11RR, 11RL are the drive wheels that links and accept from driving engine 12 transmission of propulsive effort via axle drive shaft with driving engine 12.
Driving engine 12 is combustion engines, and it makes piston crank motion on the central axis direction of the cylinder that forms drum by combustion fuel, and is transformed to the bent axle output rotation that rotatablely moves from the crank motion with described piston.
Change-speed box 14 links via bent axle and driving engine 12, and it is to from the bent axle transmission and the mechanical power that comes carries out speed change, thereby changes torque.In addition, change-speed box 14 comprises that the gear of a plurality of usefulness of advancing that converter speed ratio is different retreats the gear of usefulness with at least one.Change-speed box 14 distributes control setup 22 to link via transmission shaft 16 and viscous coupling 18 with propulsive effort.
Gear-shift lever 20 is the bars by operator's operation.In case the operator has operated gear-shift lever 20, gear positions sensor 41 described later will detect gear-shift lever 20 and be operated.
Propulsive effort distributes control setup 22 to have control diff 30 and axle drive shaft 32RR, 32RL, and will give wheel 11RR, 11RL as drive wheel from the transmission of power that change-speed box 14 passes out.Control diff 30 will transmit via transmission shaft 16 and viscous coupling 18 and the power distribution that comes passes to axle drive shaft 32RR and axle drive shaft 32RL from change-speed box 14.Axle drive shaft 32RR links control diff 30 and wheel 11RR and from the axle of control diff 30 to wheel 11RR transferring power.In addition, axle drive shaft 32RL links control diff 30 and wheel 11RL and from the axle of control diff 30 to wheel 11RL transferring power.
Vehicle-state decision maker 24 has: ECU (Electronic Control Unit, electronic control unit) 40; Detect gear positions sensor 41 by the gear positions of gear-shift lever 20 inputs; Detect vehicle-wheel speed sensor 42FR, 42FL, 42RL, the 42RL of the wheel velocity of each wheel 11FR~11RL; Detect the steering angle sensor 43 of deflection angle; Detect the yaw rate sensor 44 of yaw-rate; Detection effect is in the acceleration pick-up 45 of the acceleration/accel of vehicle 10; And the car speed sensor 47 that detects the speed of a motor vehicle.Here, acceleration pick-up 45 can not only detect when travelling owing to vehicle 10 quickens to act on the acceleration/accel of vehicle 10, but also can detect because vehicle 10 inclinations act on the acceleration/accel of vehicle 10.
ECU 40 judges that based on the testing result of each sensor 41~47 vehicle 10 is in the state that advances or is in the state that retreats.In addition, ECU 40 also has the function that drives driving engine 12, propulsive effort distribution control setup 22 based on the testing result of each sensor 41~47 except the function as vehicle-state decision maker 24.So, ECU 40 carries out controlling, judging based on the propulsive effort distribution control of propulsive effort distribution control setup 22 and based on the vehicle-state of vehicle-state decision maker 24 based on total propulsive effort of driving engine 12, controls thereby carry out vehicle movement.
Then, the vehicle-state decision method based on vehicle-state decision maker 24 is described.Here, Fig. 2 is the diagram of circuit of an example that the decision method of vehicle-state decision maker is shown.
The ECU 40 of vehicle-state decision maker 24 basis in step S10 judges by gear positions sensor 41 detected detected values whether the gear positions of gear-shift lever 20 is transformed to D Drive (D) from D Drive (D) position, for example reverse (R) in addition.Above-mentioned illustration reverse (R), but also can be transformed to D Drive (D) from neutral gear (N).If ECU 40 determines gear positions and has been transformed D Drive in step S10, then enter step S12, do not transform to D Drive if determine, then execution in step S10 repeatedly.
Then, ECU 40 judges that in step S12 whether fast (that is, whether>Akm/h) wheel velocity than wheel velocity Akm/h by the detected wheel velocity of vehicle-wheel speed sensor 42FR~42RL.If ECU 40 determines wheel velocity>Akm/h in step S12, then enter step S14, if determine wheel velocity≤Akm/h, then enter step S24.Here, as by the detected wheel velocity of vehicle-wheel speed sensor 42FR~42RL, both can with by the aviation value of the wheel velocity of four sensor as detected wheel velocity, also can be with wheel velocity minimum in the wheel velocity that goes out by four sensor as detected wheel velocity.In addition, wheel velocity A is the benchmark wheel velocity that can think that vehicle 10 is travelling, for example is the wheel velocity arbitrarily that 5km/h is above and 10km/h is following.
Then, ECU 40 judges that in step S14 whether wheel velocity is arranged is experience below the akm/h.If ECU 40 determines wheel velocity in step S14 be experience below the akm/h, then enter step S16, not have wheel velocity be the following experience of akm/h if determine, and then enters step S24.Here, have wheel velocity be the following experience of akm/h be meant when judging as the certain hour scope of benchmark in wheel velocity be in below the akm/h.Here, wheel velocity a can think that vehicle 10 is in the benchmark wheel velocity that stops.
Then, whether ECU 40 judges in step S16 by acceleration pick-up 45 detected acceleration/accels less than Bm/s 2If ECU 40 determines the absolute value of acceleration/accel less than Bm/s in step S16 2, then enter step S18, if the absolute value that determines acceleration/accel is more than or equal to Bm/s 2, then enter step S24.Here, acceleration/accel Bm/s 2It is vehicle detected benchmark acceleration/accel when being on the smooth to a certain degree road surface.That is, when vehicle 10 was on the smooth to a certain degree road surface, the absolute value of acceleration/accel was less than Bm/s 2, in the time of on the sloping road more than vehicle 10 is in necessarily, the absolute value of acceleration/accel is more than or equal to Bm/s 2
Then, ECU 40 in step S18 with Cs+1 as new Cs, even the counting of Cs increases by 1, and enter step S20.Here, Cs calculates the counting machine that detects number of times, Cs=0 during starting.The counting of Cs is increased after 1, and ECU 40 judges that in step S20 Cs is whether more than or equal to specified value (that is, whether Cs 〉=specified value).If ECU 40 determines Cs 〉=specified value in step S20, then enter step S22, if determine Cs<specified value, then enter step S24.
If ECU 40 determines Cs 〉=specified value in step S20, then in step S22, be judged to be and be in forward travel state, end process.In addition, if ECU 40 is judged to be "No" and enters step S24 in each step, then in step S24, judge whether passed through certain hour.If ECU40 is judged to be in step S24 and has passed through certain hour, then enter step S26, do not pass through certain hour as yet if be judged to be, then enter step S12, repeat above-mentioned processing.In addition, passed through certain hour if ECU 40 is judged to be in step S24, then Cs is set to 0 in step S26, then end process.
So, vehicle-state decision maker 24 is based on judging particularly from the gear positions of gear-shift lever 20 input and wheel velocity whether gear positions has been transformed and whether wheel velocity decelerates to and can think the speed that stops, even if under the gear positions situation different, also can detect travel direction exactly thus with travel direction.
Below, use Fig. 3 to be specifically described.Here, Fig. 3 is the instruction diagram that the relation between the judgement of the detected value of each sensor and vehicle-state decision maker is shown.Instruction diagram shown in Figure 3 is the situation that gear-shift lever transforms to D Drive (D advances) from reverse (R retreats) under the state of the direction running of drawing back at a predetermined velocity.Under situation shown in Figure 3, if only judge the travel direction of vehicle according to the gear positions of gear-shift lever 20, then during stop to vehicle after the firm conversion (misinterpretation zone shown in Figure 3 during), although vehicle 10 reality retreat, be judged to be and advance owing to gear-shift lever 20 is in D Drive.So, if it is anti-that travel direction is done, then because the yaw-rate of supposition is different values with actual yaw-rate, even therefore be in cruising, being judged as does not have cruising yet, and the distribution of power that perhaps causes passing to from control diff 30 each wheel 11RL, 11RR is opposite with correct distribution.To this, as shown in Figure 3, vehicle-state decision maker 24 detect gear-shift lever 20 transformed to advance and detect wheel velocity become can be judged to be the speed that stops after, just be judged to be and advance, the determination flag of will advancing in Fig. 3 is made as unlatching (on).Thus, can judge more exactly that vehicle 10 is advancing still to retreat, can suppress to take place misinterpretation.That is, according to present embodiment, the time zone that is shown the misinterpretation zone in Fig. 3 also can determine vehicle and be in fallback state, can suppress to take place misinterpretation.In addition, calculating is carried in the acceleration/accel on the vehicle, and is in situation on the precipitous sloping road etc. time at situation, for example vehicle that certain above acceleration/accel acts on vehicle, does not carry out the judgement of travel direction, can suppress flase drop thus and survey, can judge travel direction more exactly.Specifically, under vehicle is in situation on the precipitous sloping road, sometimes be subjected to the influence of the gradient and how vehicle all glides mobile regardless of gear positions, but judge in the acceleration/accel of vehicle and based on its result by detection effect, can under the situation that the flase drop survey might take place, make and not carry out the judgement of travel direction, thereby can judge travel direction more exactly.
In addition, processing as shown in Figure 2 is such, after the conversion that detects gear-shift lever 20,, can judge the motoring condition of vehicle more exactly by repeatedly judging wheel velocity and being applied to the condition whether acceleration/accel on the vehicle 10 satisfies step S12, step S14, step S16.Specifically, though even vehicle be on the flat road surface but because interim flat-out acceleration, suddenly slow down and in once judging acceleration/accel reach under the situation more than the benchmark acceleration/accel, also can in other judgement, judge to satisfy condition, therefore can judge correct motoring condition.Though in order to judge vehicle-state more exactly, preferably repeatedly judge, also can be only by once judging vehicle-state.In addition, in the above-described embodiment, carry out step S12, step S14, these three judgements of step S16 repeatedly, but also can carry out a judgement in three judgements repeatedly, can also carry out two judgements in three judgements repeatedly.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, in order to detect travel direction more exactly, detection is carried in the acceleration/accel on the vehicle, and, do not judge, but be not limited thereto based on the acceleration/accel of detected vehicle and determine vehicle and be under the situation on the precipitous sloping road.That is, though precision can descend, also can not detect the acceleration/accel (step S16) that is carried on the vehicle, (step 10) and wheel velocity (step S12, step S14) are judged and be based on the gear positions of vehicle.In addition, in order to detect travel direction more exactly, in step S14, detected in the time will judging and whether be in below the akm/h, but also time range can be set as wheel velocity in the certain hour scope of benchmark.
Here, example shown in Figure 2 only shows the control of wheel velocity more than or equal to the situation of Akm/h, but also can further also judge the motoring condition of vehicle under vehicle is considered to situation about stopping.Below, use Fig. 4 that another example of the decision method of vehicle-state decision maker is described.Here, Fig. 4 is the diagram of circuit of another example that the decision method of vehicle-state decision maker is shown.In addition, basically the decision method with shown in Figure 2 is identical more than or equal to the control of the situation of Akm/h for wheel velocity in decision method shown in Figure 4, therefore simplify the explanation of same section, below, describe the unique point in the decision method shown in Fig. 4 in detail.
At first, the ECU 40 of vehicle-state decision maker 24 in step S10 according to the gear positions of judging gear-shift lever 20 by gear positions sensor 41 detected detected values repeatedly whether the evolution beyond the D Drive be D Drive, be transformed D Drive if determine gear positions, then entered step S12.Then, whether ECU 40 judges in step S12 by the detected wheel velocity of vehicle-wheel speed sensor 42FR~42RL greater than datum velocity Akm/h (that is wheel velocity>Akm/h) whether.If ECU 40 determines wheel velocity>Akm/h in step S12, then enter step S14, if determine wheel velocity≤Akm/h, then enter step S30.Here, the processing of the step S14 of ECU 40, step S16, step S18, step S20, step S22, step S24, step S26 is identical with the processing in the above-mentioned diagram of circuit shown in Figure 2, therefore omits its explanation.
On the other hand, if ECU 40 determines wheel velocity≤Akm/h in step S12, judge in step S30 then whether vehicle 10 is in halted state.Here, ECU 40 for example by the detected wheel velocity of vehicle-wheel speed sensor 42FR~42RL for can think the speed that stops, more particularly wheel velocity is to be judged to be vehicle 10 under the situation below the akm/h to be in halted state, when wheel velocity during, be judged to be and be not in halted state greater than akm/h.Be in halted state if vehicle-state decision maker 24 is judged to be vehicle 10 in step 30, then enter step S32, be not in halted state, then enter step S12 if be judged to be vehicle 10.
ECU 40 as new Ds, even the counting of Ds increases by 1, enters step S34 with Ds+1 in step S32.Here, Ds calculates the counting machine that detects number of times, Ds=0 during starting.The counting of Ds is increased after 1, and ECU 40 judges that in step S34 Ds is whether more than or equal to specified value (that is, whether Ds 〉=specified value).If ECU 40 determines Ds 〉=specified value in step S34, then enter step S36, if determine Ds<specified value, then enter step S38.
If ECU 40 determines Ds 〉=specified value in step S34, then in step S36, judge by the detected wheel velocity of vehicle-wheel speed sensor 42FR~42RL whether greater than wheel velocity Ekm/h (that is wheel velocity>Ekm/h) whether.Here, wheel velocity Ekm/h can be judged to be the benchmark wheel velocity that vehicle 10 is in motoring condition, and this speed both can be the wheel velocity identical with wheel velocity Akm/h, also can be the benchmark wheel velocity of setting in addition.In addition, in step S36, detect the wheel velocity of certain hour, and detection and whether judge wheel velocity>Ekm/h during certain hour in.If ECU 40 determines wheel velocity>Ekm/h in step S36, then enter step S22, if determine wheel velocity≤Ekm/h, end process then.In addition, if ECU 40 determines wheel velocity>Ekm/h in step S36, then in step S22, be judged to be and be in forward travel state, end process.
On the other hand, if ECU 40 determines Ds<specified value in step S34, then in step S38, judge whether passed through certain hour.If ECU 40 determines in step S38 and passed through certain hour, then end process is not passed through certain hour as yet if determine, and then enters step S30, carries out from the processing of above-mentioned steps S30.
So, whether judgement vehicle when the gear positions conversion is in halted state, is being under the situation of halted state, judges whether become motoring condition from halted state, thus at the halted state down conversion under the situation of gear positions, also can judge travel direction accurately.
In addition, in example shown in Figure 2, the situation that to travel direction from the state transformation of vehicle rollback is the state that advances is illustrated, but is not limited thereto, and at travel direction from the state transformation that advances is also can similarly control under the situation of the state that retreats.Below, use Fig. 5 that an example again of the decision method of vehicle-state decision maker is described.Here, Fig. 5 is the diagram of circuit of an example again that the decision method of vehicle-state decision maker is shown.In addition, in decision method shown in Figure 5, before conversion opposite with the travel direction after the conversion, decision method with shown in Figure 2 is identical basically for other, therefore simplify the explanation of same section, below, describe the unique point in the decision method shown in Fig. 5 in detail.
The ECU 40 of vehicle-state decision maker 24 basis in step S50 judges by gear positions sensor 41 detected detected values whether the gear positions of gear-shift lever 20 is transformed to reverse (R) from reverse (R) position, for example D Drive (D), neutral gear (N) in addition.If ECU 40 determines gear positions and has been transformed reverse in step S50, then enter step S12, do not transform to reverse if determine, then execution in step S50 repeatedly.Below, the processing of the step S12 of ECU 40, step S14, step S16, step S18, step S20, step S22, step S24, step S26 is identical with the processing in the above-mentioned diagram of circuit shown in Figure 2, therefore omits its explanation.Wheel velocity Akm/h, wheel velocity akm/h, acceleration/accel Bm/s as benchmark 2Both can be to be transformed to the identical speed of situation of advancing with travel direction shown in Figure 2, also can be different speed.
So, from advancing direction transformation under the situation of direction of retreat,, also can similarly judge travel direction accurately from the situation that direction of retreat is transformed to working direction at travel direction with travel direction by judging motoring condition as shown in Figure 5.In addition, at travel direction from advancing direction transformation under the situation of direction of retreat, also further by judging similarly with diagram of circuit shown in Figure 4 whether vehicle is in halted state, thus at the halted state down conversion also can judge travel direction accurately under the situation of gear positions.
Utilizability on the industry
As mentioned above, vehicle according to the invention state determining apparatus and vehicle-state decision method are useful on the travel direction of judging vehicle, the vehicle heading that has been particularly useful for judging whether conversion.
